<snip>
I think it was worth the effort even though it didn't break anything - one thing we really need is a reproducible way to make this problem appear. As Amos has said, the problem may lie deep in the bowels of the applications running on top of zserver. Given that there was mention that freebsd installations seemed immune, we have the the Linux thread libraries to content with as well as all the zope code running at crash prone sites..anyone got this happening with an old linux install? I only have access to redhat 6.1
I don't think us FreeBSD users are quite immune... So far, we've had reports of hanging/restarts/crashes on FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris. The three use vastly different thread libraries, so I don't think it's your thread libraries that are at fault.
I've added a comment to Marcus's wiki page for collecting data on this problem - suggest anyone else with the problem does the same...http://www.zope.org/Members/tseaver/Projects/HighlyAvai lableZope/DiagnosingHangProblems
Thanks for the feedback! Regards, -- Marcus
